After Luo Fengjiao left, neither the Su family nor the Ji family came to Pinyue Residence to disturb Su Yunying for two consecutive days.
Taking advantage of this rare period of peace, Liang Hao and Su Yunying made the most of their time to cultivate.
Shen Zhao also took the opportunity to comprehend the secrets of the Blood Brahma Dragon Sutra, while pondering how to remove the restrictions imposed on him by the system.
However, this rare peace and tranquility was soon shattered by someone else.
"Where is Miss Su? Tell her to come out and see me at once!"
Outside the door, a group of young men surrounded Pin Yue Ju aggressively, demanding that Su Yunying come out.
The man in the lead, dressed in black brocade robes and looking to be in his early twenties, was sizing up his surroundings with a menacing expression, as if he were searching for adulterers.
"Who the hell are you? Looking for a beating this early in the morning?"
This greatly displeased Shen Zhao, who was just about to take a nap, so he naturally didn't give them a friendly look.
The man with the folding fan frowned slightly, and his lackey, Karami, immediately said arrogantly, "He doesn't even recognize our fourth young master Huo, yet he dares to show his face in Juzhou City? He's really blind."
"You damn lackey, who gave you the audacity to swagger around here? Kneel down before you speak!"
Shen Zhao was in a terrible mood. He gave a loud shout, and before the group of Karami could even react, they were all forced to kneel down by the force of Mount Tai.
Seeing that someone dared to slap him in the face like this, Huo Huaisheng frowned and pointed at Shen Zhao, saying, "What does your Su family mean by this?"
"How would I know what that means? And what does the Su family have to do with me?"
"Did you not look where you were going and came to the wrong door? Go out, turn left, and ask someone for directions before you talk!"
Huo Huaisheng's eyes turned cold, and he then cupped his hands to Shen Zhao, saying, "I was very rude to you before. I am Huo Huaisheng."
"I have come today on my father's orders to pay my respects to my wife. I humbly request that this fellow Daoist allow my wife to come out and meet me."
"You really need to get treatment for your illness. You can't keep your wife under control, so you come to my place demanding her return?"
"I have already visited the Su family twice to propose marriage, but I have not been able to see Miss Su on either occasion."
I learned upon inquiring that she had been staying at Pin Yue Ju all this time, and I would be grateful if you could ask her to come out and meet me.
"Wait, you mean you're here to propose marriage? You're not married, so where did you get a wife from?"
"They've already come to propose marriage, so she must be my wife!"
"If you propose to a sow, does that mean the sow is your wife?"
Huo Huaisheng choked on his words and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shen Zhao rolled up his sleeves and asked while washing his face, "So, the person you're going to marry is Miss Su?"
"Exactly."
"Then you've really come to the wrong person. Su Xuejiao, the daughter of the Su family, isn't here. You'll have to go back to the Su residence to look for her."
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. The lady I am about to marry is the elder sister of Miss Su Er. Her name is Su Yunying."
Shen Zhao smiled slightly, wiped the towel on his leather boots a few times, and casually draped it over one of the karami's heads as a reward.
"How could I not know about something this big?"
Huo Huaisheng: "Friend, this is my marriage with the Su family. Why should I let you know? And who are you to Miss Su?"
Shen Zhao suddenly stood up, walked up to Huo Huaisheng, looked him up and down, and then said, "Go back, just pretend we never met."
"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by that?" Huo Huaisheng asked, somewhat surprised. "Why don't you explain it more clearly?"
Shen Zhao said, "I'm afraid of hurting your pride if I tell you the truth, because someone like you is not good enough for Su Yunying, so you should leave quickly."
Upon hearing this, Huo Huaisheng's face instantly turned cold: "Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far. I'm here to see Miss Su, not to argue with you here!"
"I advise you not to meet her. It will be good for you. I guarantee it. Your marriage will be like a toad falling in love with a swan."
"What do you mean?"
"It will always happen in your dreams."
Upon hearing this, Huo Huaisheng trembled with anger.
"So, the Su family wants to break the contract?"
"What does the Su family's breach of contract have to do with Su Yunying?"
"But it was clearly the Su family who came to propose marriage, saying they wanted to marry Miss Su to me."
"So, Miss Su, have you agreed?"
"Is a marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers necessary for her to agree?"
"Then why did you come to see her?"
"I just want to meet my future wife."
Shen Zhao glanced at Huo Huaisheng again, then asked, "It seems you're determined to see Su Yunying today?"
"Yes! We're going to live together for the rest of our lives, so we should at least meet and see if she's as beautiful as the rumors say."
"Then go back and wait."
"What's the meaning?"
"Since you're going to marry Su Yunying, shouldn't I prepare a return gift for you?"
"What return gift?"
"Go back to the Huo family and wait patiently; someone will surely come to visit you."
"this……"
"What? Is there anything else?"
No, that's all.
Overwhelmed by Shen Zhao's imposing aura, Huo Huaisheng dared not linger and immediately fled Pin Yue Ju with his servants.
As soon as they left, Shen Zhao spat at their retreating figures: "What the hell? With that pathetic appearance, he dares to covet a young girl's looks? Where does he get his confidence?"
"This must have been the work of the Su family mother and daughter. It seems I must teach you a lesson you won't know how ruthless my methods can be."
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted, "Liang Hao, get out here right now! I'm going to let you have a chance to show off!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liang Hao appeared beside Shen Zhao.
